Fig 3. Change in concentration of cytokines and chemokines in lacrimal tears from preoperative value.

Fig 3

The decrease in concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, TNF-α and IFN-γ in lacrimal tears was statistically significant in the dry eye group at 1, and 2 months compared to the value of 1 day post-surgery, respectively (P <0.05). Each value represents the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Significance was evaluated with random-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) model; p values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant. ***P < .001, **P < .01, *P < .05, using a linear mixed model with post hoc analysis, or generalized estimating equations model.
